Summary
During the peak of the second COVID -19 wave, the hospitals were over-crowded. Many COVID -19
positive patients had to stay at home and reach out to their family physicians for guidance.
Medical follow-up for these patients was a daunting challenge. As in - patient hospital
facilities were not readily accessible due to over crowding, early objective tests to
identify home quarantined patients prone to deterioration and timely medical intervention to
avoid hospitalization were required.
Based on early assessment of inflammatory markers like CRP and clinical signs like persistent
high-grade fever, need-based early medical intervention was initiated in home quarantined
COVID -19 patients prior to the onset of hypoxia, in order to avoid complications and
hospitalization
